X-Men: Gold #14

X-Men Gold continues to be the team book that every comic and mutant fan should be reading. Read Full Review

Keeping this crossover on a weekly release schedule will keep it from getting stale. This is an easily digestible story that pokes fun at the X-Men continuity in a tasteful way, using the most tasteless but enjoyable villain. Read Full Review

This crossover is turning into more of a diversion than a big event for the X-Men. And that's fine, as long as it continues to be entertaining. But the shock value has already worn off. Read Full Review

A healthy mix of ups and downs, but the quality of Marc Laming's pencils helps save this book. The action is fun, if flawed, and I like the character models - even if they're a touch off from where they should be. Before I talk myself into not liking this book, I'm going to give it a C grade and keep moving. Read Full Review

While I was enjoy X-Men: Gold #14, Marvel Legacy and the previous event has veered a little and taken some of the shine off. It's not bad but it's also not quite exciting enough that it's one of the first things I run to read like I used to for X comics. Hopefully after this we'll get a focus on the characters which usually makes the series the strongest. Right now, it feels a bit empty, like Mojo's shows. All flash, little heart. Read Full Review

While the previous instalments have treated us to such delights as Spider-Man and the Champions tackling the barrier trapping the X-Men, Kitty telling Rachel they WILL have a discussion about her and Kurt, Jimmy calling Old Man Logan "pops", Rachel and Scott similarly discussing what she should call him (apparently dad is actually acceptable compared to adolescent dad, tyke dad or little dad) this issue hasn't given us too much to go on in the way of plot development and team interaction with Nightcrawler, Colossus and Beast in particular taking much of a back seat. While this is a common hazard with ensemble cast and the fact it's three separate teams it may just be too much to juggle story wise. Read Full Review

the green death

I think this greatest hits storyline has been a lot of fun so far and this part is no exception. It's not deep but it's a ton of oldschool fun, I only wish we'd had another Art Adams cover for this issue.

Gratuitous deaths and arbitrary scene shifts really hammer home how meaningless Mojo's challenges are, but poor Teenclops gets suckered into spilling some important beans to his teammates. Marc Laming offers detailed but hopelessly stiff drawings, and Marc Guggenheim's script notably fails at engaging the reader. Characters and settings are all hopelessly arbitrary and fictional; this is a story that you slog through as quick as you can, grabbing the tiny little bits - like Teenclops's confession - that are going to matter after the crossover is done.
